      One of the most rewarding schemes I’ve been a part of is as a mentor for the Help Musicians Co-Pilot Scheme. Such an amazing organisation and useful/resourceful for any music industry creative who needs guidance.

       

      Co-Pilot helps musicians to take the next step in their careers by matching them with an experienced music professional, who can share their expertise to help talented creators focus, grow and thrive.

       

      Partnered with PRS & The Ivor’s Academy. The initiative provides eight hours of mentoring across six months, but it is more than just mentoring. You will have access to resources, workshops and networking opportunities to develop your career. To make it as accessible as possible, Co-Pilot is an online network. Mentors and mentees can be located anywhere in the UK.

  10. Speaking to a guitarist earlier actually. Played with George Michael in the 90's & getting £2500 now on average £200/£250
  11. Not gonna name any names here but it depends on the level of the act, label backing & own negotiated contracts & venues to some extent (all from my personal experience) Playing at O2 Academy's for me paid slightly less than arenas & such say £200 + against £500+ and per diems every day on or off while travelling which sort of mirrored the union's fee guidelines mostly. It is really dependent on each tour though
  12. Recording session for Netflix today! 🎸

  14. Yeah it was originally a rosewood fretless board. Later changed to ebony
  15. Always with rounds for this one. The binding was added at a later I believe but really sets it off
  16. A sad bass related day today. My 1976 (first year of production) Musicman Stingray Fretless Bass is leaving my studio for the last time.

  17. A sad bass related day today. My 1976 (first year of production) Musicman Stingray Fretless Bass is leaving my studio for the last time. During the pandemic, after really getting deep into the playing, style, tone & bass history of Pino I sought out a standard fretless Stingray from anywhere. After nearly biting the bullet & getting a custom EBMM fretless from them directly this wonderful bass popped up after I placed a wanted ad on Facebook. I looked over it for a week & got it on the way to me. A perfect bass for what I was looking at and at the time, an instrument I couldn’t put down! Studio sessions & some live work with it too. This bass was the sound of Feralman Music the artist's set & such a distinct bass sound for his tracks live. It was used twice live with him & the band, numerous rehearsals, numerous recording sessions too. This was the bass’s first artist appearance for myself. As time went on I got more and more reluctant to take it out in public, along with the actual need of this sound live/in the studio. Plus a new addition from Overwater basses really covers the sounds needed for a MM Stingray and in the form of extra low notes too. It’s definitely a regret that I felt almost instantly & still do but needs must & this bass is one that I feel needs to be played. Maybe one day it will make its way back around to me (fingers crossed) but definitely a special bass & leaves me with just one "vintage" bass going forward & an empty slot on my guitar rack too.
